How Many Plots of Land Make an Acre in Nigeria? Understanding the Math and Making Smart Land Investments
When it comes to buying land in Nigeria, one question consistently comes up: “How many plots make an acre?” It’s a simple question, but the answer depends on the size of the plot in question. In this article, we’ll break it down clearly, and also show how understanding this simple math can help you make smarter investment decisions — especially in agriculture.
What Is the Size of an Acre?
An acre is a unit of land measurement commonly used in Nigeria and many parts of the world.
- 1 acre = 43,560 square feet
- Or approximately 4,046.86 square meters
It’s important to note that an acre is a fixed measurement, but a “plot” can vary depending on local planning authorities.
So, How Many Plots Make an Acre?
The number of plots in an acre depends entirely on the size of one plot. Let’s look at two common scenarios:
Scenario 1: Plot Size = 60 x 120 ft (standard in many urban areas)
- 60 ft × 120 ft = 7,200 sq. ft per plot
- 43,560 ÷ 7,200 = 6.05 plots per acre
Conclusion: You’ll get 6 plots in one acre using this size.
Scenario 2: Plot Size = 50 x 100 ft (commonly used in rural/agricultural layouts)
- 50 ft × 100 ft = 5,000 sq. ft = 463.6 sqm
- 4,046.86 sqm ÷ 463.6 sqm = ~8.73 plots per acre
Conclusion: You’ll get about 8.7 plots per acre with this configuration.
Is a Plot Always 1/6 or 1/8 of an Acre?
No. That’s a common misconception.
While 60 x 120 ft gives you six plots per acre, and 50 x 100 ft gives you 8.7, there is no universally fixed plot size in Nigeria. It depends on:
- Location (urban vs rural)
- Zoning requirements
- Purpose (residential, commercial, agricultural)
So always check with the survey plan or land documentation before assuming how many plots make up an acre.
